----------------------------------------
Hi, we just got bitten by this same issue. I applied the patch supplied in this
bug report and confirmed it fixed our issue. Is there any possibility of
getting an officially supported release that has this fix in it? I'd hate to
have to run our own customized version of Xalan.
> Astral characters written as a pair of NCRs with the surrogate scalar values
> when using UTF-8

> Key: XALANJ-2419
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2419
> Project: XalanJ2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Serialization
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Reporter: Henri Sivonen
> Attachments: XALANJ-2419-fix.txt, XALANJ-2419-tests.txt
>
>
> org.apache.xml.serializer.ToStream contains the following code:
> else if (m_encodingInfo.isInEncoding(ch)) {
> // If the character is in the encoding, and
> // not in the normal ASCII range, we also
> // just leave it get added on to the clean characters
>
> }
> else {
> // This is a fallback plan, we should never get here
> // but if the character wasn't previously handled
> // (i.e. isn't in the encoding, etc.) then what
> // should we do? We choose to write out an entity
> writeOutCleanChars(chars, i, lastDirtyCharProcessed);
> writer.write("&#");
> writer.write(Integer.toString(ch));
> writer.write(';');
> lastDirtyCharProcessed = i;
> }
> This leads to the wrong (latter) if branch running for surrogates, because
> isInEncoding() for UTF-8 returns false for surrogates. It is always wrong
> (regardless of encoding) to escape a surrogate as an NCR.
> The practical effect of this bug is that any document with astral characters
> in it ends up in an ill-formed serialization and does not parse back using an
> XML parser.
